IPA with perle?

[ThirstyVine]

As planning to do a IPAD this weekend and have just come into a large amount of fresh perle hops. Would this go with this type of beer any suggestions

I've never used them myself, but I know sierra Nevada uses them for bittering in their pale ale. I would think they would work nicely in an IPA.

They dont use much but they do use it.

Rogue's Dead guy is made with Perle and Saaz. If you haven't tried it give it a shot. I know it's not an IPA but at 40IBU it gives you a little taste of Perle used it bigger amounts.

Sierra Nevada uses them at 30, so rather than strictly a bittering or strictly aroma, this would be more of a "flavoring" hop. I am actually planning on brewing a pale ale next week with perle @30. I have not yet brewed a batch with perle but ive heard they are tasty, slightly spicy and work well as a dual purpose. I really enjoy siera nev, so if u like that beer as well i would say its definitely worth a try!

I love perle hops. They work great as a bittering or aroma addition. They just aren't popular as aroma in American styles because they lack the citrusy character.

I used Perle & Saaz in my Sunset Gold APA the first time I brewed it. Nice smooth spiciness to them. It's good & a nice change in a pale ale. Check out my recipe for the flavor hop times.
